For LGBTQ+ and Muslim communities, including police officer Ali Darwich, the assault strikes at the heart of their identity and safety. Rising anti-queer hate crimes in Germany have gone largely unchallenged, making this attack a chilling political statement. Yet amid the grief, Berliners are rallying — united in mourning and resolve to build a more inclusive, resilient future.
